PD-6
DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 1: Introduction)
Each mixer channel provides a pan pot, a phantom power supply (P48/
T12), a frequency-sweepable filter and a limiter.
In addition, each of channels 2, 4 and 6 provides a phase switch.
A 128 x 64 dot-matrix backlit LCD display for showing various
information is used, which helped to design the PD-6 compact and
lower power consumption.
You can select the display mode by a single key operation.
The level meter section can be enlarged.
A connector conformed to IEEE1394 is provided for connecting directly
to a personal computer. It allows transferring audio file data recorded
by the PD-6 between the PD-6 and a personal computer.
A USB port is provided for connecting directly to a USB keyboard. You
can make setting and editing from a keyboard instead of the PD-6 panel
keys. (Note that you cannot make all setting and editing from a
keyboard.)
The Cue function allows to store markers (cue points) during recording.
Cue points are used for the locate or skip function. (To use cue points
for the skip function, you have to set the “Skip mode” menu in the
Setup mode to “CUE”.)
The circle take function allows to put “@” to desired recorded audio
files. Using this function, you can make an “OK take” list easily.
The reference input level can be selected between -18 dB and -20 dB.
(The selection is made in the Setup mode. The default setting is -20
dB.)
Built in accurate TC generator (in +/- 1 ppm accuracy) for recording
IEC time code. The time code can be started by jamming to an external
time code or from the desired time of the internal clock.
The jam function switches the reference from an external time code to
the internal time code generator.
The error tone can be generated for warning when disk writing error
occurs, clipping occurs at the input amplifier stage, the power voltage
is out of the allowable range, or the remaining space of the disk is few.
(You have to make setting of the “Error tone” menu in the Setup mode
appropriately.)
